Is It a Crime To Dream?
Innocent childhood dreams
Full of lollipops and ice cream
Pretending to be a princess bride
Maintaining dignity and pride
Innocent childhood dreams
No longer filled with candy and flavors of ice cream
Slowly you begin to see
The triumphs and tragedies that are meant to be
Innocent childhood dreams
Replaced with ones that make me want to scream
My once protected heart
Now easily torn apart
A heart filled with passion, love and hate
Often questioning fate
So I can’t help but ponder this
Is it such a crime to wish…
To wish I could go back in time?
